Certain demands cannot be ignored, such as endpoint protection, mobile threat security, and cloud security.

Preparing For Projects In A Post-Pandemic World

As project managers, we tend to treat projects with a strongly ‘mechanistic’ approach: the work can be broken down, executed and controlled as a series of interlocking parts.

This is the technical, engineering-based conceptualisation, derived from the roots of the subject. While acknowledging the many benefits of this view, mindful project management ventures beyond this mechanistic approach, into the unknown and the unexpected.

In this webinar Dr. Elmar Kutsch (LinkedIn profile) 2017 winner of the the Cranfield SOM Teaching and Learning Faculty award for excellence in researching, developing, delivering and publishing impactful case studies; critically reviews the key practices of risk management and scenario planning, and their suitability to take us to and beyond the risk horizon.
